The MSA311 is a super small and low-cost triple-axis accelerometer. It's inexpensive, but has just about every 'extra' you'd want in an accelerometer: Three-axis sensing, 14-bit resolution ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable scaling I2C interface on fixed I2C address 0x62 Interrupt output Multiple data rate options 1 Hz to 500 Hz As low as 2uA current draw in low power mode (just the chip itself, not including any supporting circuitry) Tap, Double-tap, orientation freefall detection The MSA311 is very similar to the MSA301, but is not a drop-in replacement. The I2C address has changed from 0x26 to 0x6
